    leaves of grass

    An excellent movie combining philosophy, petry, relgion, murder and mayhem.

  • Must Go!

    When life derails your plans...

    Or before that happens, go see Leaves of Grass. The only thing better than watching Edward Norton on the big screen is watching two Edward Nortons in two different roles.

    Estranged from his former life in Tulsa, OK, philosophy professor Bill Kincaid travels home when he receives bad news. Rediscovering his past, Bill is reminded why he left years ago but his family and new interests beg his presence longer than intended.

    Leaves of Grass explores the relationship of our current lives, where we're headed, and that neither can come to fruition without dealing with the past.

    4 STARS.

    Amazing

    This movie really surprised me, it has a wonderful combination of situations that hit you right where it matters and comedy that is completely unexpected but hilarious. It has an amazing script. Edward Norton becomes two completely different people, and you ultimately forget that they're being played by the same actor, one of his best performances definitely.
